firewalls :(

[unmerged(9995)]

hey! I have been playing EU for awhile and have never been able to play online over vnet or IP. After many discussions I now know its because I have a firewall that is blocking the ports that EU uses for MP. Can someone plz tell me what these ports are? I finally figured out how to foward them to my comp on the network. Someone told there were several of them but i cannot find info on this situation anywhere.

-thanx

I really don't know. I'll move this over MP.

I have found this in "Guide for newbie players" thread:

Also if your having troubles with a firewall, Mauzzer says to do this:


Ive asked this before in the forum but have found out, if you have a firewall which you control, open up ports 47624 and 23000-24000 and redirect them to your lan-ip. It works fine for me now

Thanks to Mauzzer for this information Also blame him if it doesn't work

Try it and let me know if it works, because I have a firewall at work too. Perhaps something can be done and than my connection would be better than 56 k. Contact me on ICQ 119779134. Tom

Correction. It should read ports 2300-2400.

hmmmm, not working

I've tried these port combos for both 2300:2400 and 23000:24000 both udp and tcp. No dice. Any other suggestions?

This is about the 4th time I've heard this story in the past 4 weeks. I dont know the answer and its pretty depressing.

I am sure that someone did answer this once way back in time, perhaps running a search may come up with an answer.
